    We had an amazing waitress! Unfortunately the kitchen had no fish, no steak for a prego roll, no ice cream and no cold bubbly ( only cold Rose bubbly ). Also extremely noisy due to a function upstairs. If it wasn’t for our very very good waitress we would have left and eat elsewhere….

    Dear Marius. Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your evening didn’t quite meet expectations and we completely understand how frustrating it must have been to find several key menu items unavailable. That said, we’re so glad to hear your waitress made a positive impact on your experience. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words, she’ll be thrilled to know she made a difference. We recently experienced an unexpected supplier delay, which unfortunately impacted kitchen availability that evening. We’re actively taking steps to prevent this from happening again and really appreciate your understanding. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back again for a more seamless and enjoyable evening—one that reflects what The Sanctuary is really all about. Warm regards, The Sanctuary Restaurant
